Caius Ballad in KH3

[Master Juan 574]

Well, ever since the introduction of time traveling in Kingdom Hearts DDD, I can't help but thinking how great of a fit FF13-2' main antagonist, Caius Ballad, would fit into the story-line. Just imagine, Caius gets furious when he find out the timeline has been tampered with (by Xehanort of course), and thinking that Sora is the cause of it (sort of like how the Lingering Sentiment thought Sora was Xehanort), he fights him in an epic battle, stating that Yuel was killed because of him (or something along those lines). Sora could then talk about how Caius has light in his heart but its blocked by the darkness in his actions, and Caius experiences some sort of revelation and thanks Sora. Personally, I think Kingdom Hearts is definitely in desperate need of another FF villian, as Sephiroth's story was taken elsewhere in KH2. If I recall correctly, when Caius Ballad's theme was created, it was made so that it would surpass Sephiroth's, the two antagonists being directly compared by the creators of Final Fantasy themselves. It needs to be done. What do you guys think? How do you think this would play out, and do you think he should even be in Kingdom Hearts? What other Final Fantasy characters do you think should make an appearance in Kingdom Hearts 3?

i think that'd be awesome

[Queen Tery 4,591]

He could be the replacement boss battle for Sephiroth. It would be a nice switch-up.

[Keyblade101 526]

I think it would be awesome to have Caius in KH3. Does anyone think that Noel and/or Serah should team up with

Sora to fight against Caius? 'Cause I think that could work.

[NumberXIII.Roxas 64]

Caius in KH3 would be awesome! I'd love it!

Here's a comparison between both Sephiroth's and Caius' themes and final battle themes, whose do you like better?

 

Normal Themes:

Sephiroth-

Final Battle Themes:

Sephiroth-

 

 

Caius-

Isn't Invisible Depths mostly used for the battle against the Bahamut trio? Well, it is used in the Requiem of the Goddess, but I think you know what I'm trying to say. But I guess you're just trying to make a point.

 

Besides that, I agree with you.

[coolwings 1,546]

I agree with you, I'm not going to have an argument over who is better Caius or Sephiroth but I think that there should be a change. Having Caius in the game would be a great change, Sephiroth has kind of been overused a bit. I'm not to sure about Caius meeting Xehanort or that since it would get a bit confusing then with all the time travel stuff.

 

I kind of agree with Caius and Sora having a battle but not one that really affects the story line since Caius is only a FF character. I think that Sora goes to a world like Hollow Bastion or something like that where there are FF characters and Xehanort had sent Caius to destroy Sora or something like that. Involving Yeul is a bit eh I wouldn't want it to be too much like FFXIII-2. 

 

Another thing would be to have both Caius and Sephiroth and they have a battle since I'd love to see them together. But yeah I personalty think Caius would be a great villain to include in KH3 most other villains don't really fit. 

[Keyblade101 526]

Is it just me, or does Caius's theme sound like something out of the Hunchback of Notre Dame?

 

 

If Caius is in KH3, and he's fought as a boss, I hope that they keep his normal boss theme when you fight him.

Idk a whole lot about FF, because I can't stand turned-based fighting, but Caius does look cool, so I'm not against it. Maybe he could be like a secret boss, like Sephiroth usually is.

[ZOBLIVION 13]

OMG, that would be so cool! I love xiii-2! (Not the ending though)

[KH4Real 749]

We haven't have a real answer who brought Young Xehanort probably Ansem.

But still Caius can be part of it somehow.

 

They have obviously taken the time travel part from ffxiii-2.

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Master Juan you made me so happy! Yes, Caius would be excellent for KH3! It would be a battle for the ages, guaranteed!

[Keyblade101 526]

I thought of a journal entry for Caius if he in fact does end up in KH3. What do you guys think?

 

 

Caius Ballad

 

Guardian of time.

 

Caius knows the entire stretch of the timeline from the most ancient past to farthest most uncertain future and he will do all within his immense power to ensure that the timeline remains undamaged by any potential threat.

Caius is one of the few good characters in the FFXIII trilogy, so I wouldn't mind if he appears in KH3. I'm definitely getting sick of Sephiroth and really would like to have another FF villain, but to be honest, I'd rather have Mateus, Golbez, Kefka, Ultimecia, or Kuja be it rather than Caius.

[sagman12PC 280]

He would be a good addition to KH3 as a secret boss. In my opinion hes 2nd to sephiroth in terms of being a badass
